Found this over at TF.N:
Sam & Max 2 Cancelled
Wed, Mar 03, 04 09:48:45 PM EST
After the cancellation of Full Throttle 2 late last year, LucasArts has decided to cancel another classic sequel, Sam & Max: Freelance Police. Acting general manager and VP of finance and operations, Mike Nelson, had this to say in the press release:
"After careful evaluation of current market place realities and underlying economic considerations, we've decided that this was not the appropriate time to launch a graphic adventure on the PC."
This also leaves any future sequels to Monkey Island hanging by a thread. Sad times indeed.

Well that blows.
I mean honestly I wouldn't mind seeing Lucasarts do something other then Star Wars games.
They did some classics in the past.

"Not an appropriate time to launch an adventure game for the PC"?!?
W. T. F.
It's ALWAYS a good time for a PC adventure game from LucasArts! The fools!

Fucking assholes, I was looking forward to that one. Cancelling FT2 was bad enough, but now S&M2? I feel betrayed.

So exactly how much non-SW stuff do they have that is supposed to come out anyway? Doesn't seem like they've made that much lately.

Max: Sam, how could you? Senseless acts of gratuitous violence are my forte! *Max brutally kills Lucasarts execs*

They're making some sort of mercenary adventure game in North Korea. I think.

There was also
Secret Weapons over Normandy, which was released last year.

Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb, Armed & Dangerous, and Secret Weapons over Normany were their only non-SW games in the last year.

I meant that they had planned, I haven't heard of that much stuff that they've been working on now.

As much as I like SW games, I still want to see some diversity.
